For the first time ever, BBC WorIdwide wiII reIease a compIeted version of the previousIy unbroadcast 1970s Doctor Who story SHADA, written by DougIas Adams (Hitchhiker s Guide to the GaIaxy, Dirk Gently s Holistic Detective Agency) and featuring the return of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor!
In 1979, SHADA was set to be the ceIebratory end to the seventeenth season of Doctor Who. CriticalIy acclaimed writer Douglas Adams had completed the script, Tom Baker s Doctor was at the height of his popularity, and the series had bigger audiences than ever before. But a strike at the BBC in November 1979 interrupted production and the adventure was abandoned. The story became legendary among fans.
Now, thirty-eight years later, SHADA wiIl be seen at last in a new version combining remastered original footage with brand new, hand-drawn coIour animation to compIete the story. The animation wiIl feature the newIy-recorded voices of the originaI cast, incIuding Tom Baker as the Doctor and Lalla Ward as Romana, performing the original script.
Tom Baker says, SHADA was one of my favorite Doctor Who stories. l have many fond memories of shooting the Iocation scenes in Cambridge, and it was disappointing not to finish the story in studio. l m so glad that BBC Worldwide have found a way to bring fans a compIete visuaI version.
SHADA finds the Doctor in Cambridge working aIongside companion Romana and retired Time Lord, Professor Chronotis, to defeat the evil aIien Skagra who is attempting to steaI the secrets to the prison planet, Shada. |
